TikTok video shows troubling first-date interaction
Cece, who posts on TikTok as @_caceydenise, said she deleted a dating app after a first date “went so wrong.” In a caption accompanying the video, she wrote that she was so “creeped out” that she had her sister call with an excuse so she could leave. “Never again,” she added.
The video received more than 82,000 likes within a day of being posted. It shows Cece on what appears to be a first date with a man she met through blackpeoplemeet.com.
At the beginning of the video, the man looks directly at Cece with a slight smirk and asks what she wants to eat. When she says she does not know because she has not had a chance to look at the menu, he does not hand it over and continues looking at it while keeping it to himself. He then suggests wine before saying he wants to order four shots for her.
When Cece asks why he wants to order alcohol for her so soon, he says he wants to “see [how far she] can really go.” She appears to play unaware of his meaning in an effort to capture his reaction on camera and asks him to explain. The man then makes an inappropriate tongue gesture, which appears more than once during the short video.

Man continues urging her to drink
Later in the video, the man continues insisting that Cece get a drink. She says she does not want one that day, but he responds, “I could take you home,” apparently attempting to persuade her to become intoxicated.
Cece’s point of view then shifts as she moves away near the end of the clip, appearing to leave the table. The man repeats the tongue gesture, after which Cece audibly gasps and stops recording.
TikTok users discuss date safety
Viewers reacted strongly to the interaction. The top comment said the commenter would have ordered an angel shot. According to Toast, an angel shot is a discreet way for a bar or restaurant patron to communicate that they feel unsafe, threatened, or uncomfortable with the person accompanying them. It is not an actual alcoholic drink but can help someone seek assistance or leave an uncomfortable situation.
“The tongue??? I would have gathered my belongings immediately,” one commenter wrote. “Girl, protect your drink,” another warned. A third commenter said, “This was a hard watch. I am going to scroll. Be safe, girl.” Another woman wrote, “I am terrified in the comfort of my home, so I can only imagine how you felt.”
Why This Matters
The video highlights concerns about pressure to consume alcohol during a first date and the importance of recognizing discreet safety measures in bars and restaurants. The discussion also shows how online viewers interpreted the man’s repeated gestures and insistence on drinks as warning signs.
